X Marshal Dunn and George Bright,
whose names appear In the Standard Oh =
bill, have Essn down here to day, 70 give q
that measure lift In the Senate. They 4
all unite in declaring that, TO the best OF
their knowledge and belief, the Standard

charter through, they will go right TO ,
work. But the name of Elkins has the (
Standard Oil smell, Notwithstanding; /
